Finding Love After a Divorce, Death or Breakup in Valentine’s Day

If this Valentine’s Day is not all romance and roses, these 5 steps can make your Valentine’s Day great.

“People don’t know what to do to find love. It’s not their fault. No one has given them a step-by-step action plan,” said Aurora Winter, an expert at guiding people and author of From Heartbreak to Happiness.

langgar  often coaches people who are newly single after a divorce, death or breakup. “After doing these 5 steps, my clients are much happier – and a number have even gotten engaged or married.”

According to Winter, here are 5 steps to finding love after a divorce, death, or breakup:

Step 1: Get Clear

Get clear on your core values and goals for your new relationship. Describe your ideal partner’s top 12 characteristics and put them in order of priority. For example: a good listener, successful, values family, loyal, kind, creative, attentive, healthy, handsome, self-confident, likes to travel, owns a home.

“People will consistently behave in a way that makes them feel important. What makes your ideal partner feel important?” said Winter, author of From Heartbreak to Happiness. “Get clear.”

Step 2: No Mixed Signals

Now that you’re clear, stay clear. Don’t give any mixed signals.

Look at your list of the top 12 characteristics. The top 3 are your “must-haves.” For example: a good listener, successful, values family.


Don’t even have a coffee date with someone who doesn’t have those top 3 traits. Use your dates to discover if they have the top 6 traits. If they do, that’s a relationship worth exploring.

Step 3: Release the Past

Bitterness, resentment and anger are common after a divorce or breakup. People who have lost a spouse to death frequently yearn for their late husband or wife.

“Nothing repels new love faster than unresolved grief over the past,” said Aurora Winter, who founded the Grief Coach Academy after the sudden death of her husband at the age of 33. “These 5 steps are like a combination lock that opens your heart. Don’t skip any steps. If you have unresolved heartbreak from a divorce, death or breakup, get support to heal.”

Step 4: Improve Yourself

Improving yourself is a powerful way to attract your ideal mate. Do you have the top 12 traits yourself? If not, work on self- improvement.

“When I described my ideal partner, I asked myself if I was a match for the amazing man I had just described,” says Aurora. “I wasn’t. So I got to work on myself. Now, years later, my life partner is everything I had on my list – and more.”

Improve yourself so that you are a good match for your ideal partner.

Step 5: Choose Gratitude

Every day, write down 5 things that you’re grateful for. Notice at least one thing you appreciate about yourself. It might be your kindness, your smile, or your parenting.

Refuse to give any energy to negative or critical thoughts. “So often people self-sabotage because they subconsciously think they don’t deserve their ideal partner. The antidote is gratitude,” says langgar.

Get clear, stay clear, release the past, improve yourself, and choose gratitude and you’ll find love after a divorce, death or breakup.

“If I can go from heartbreak to happiness, you can, too,” says langgar.

Manganese

Manganese may be one of those minerals that you've never even considered for how important it is for the human body.  While calcium gets all the attention regarding bone health, manganese is also very important for bone formation.  In fact, there are 18 different nutrients required for the body to build healthy bone.  For more on that see my earlier post regarding calcium (Calcium Blog ).

Manganese is also important in the formation and activation of enzymes that metabolize oxygen, carbohydrates, amino acids, and cholesterol.  And perhaps even more critical is that manganese is required to detoxify our body from any naturally produced ammonia.  Ammonia is poison to the body, so it must be removed.

The blood, liver, immune, musculoskeletal, nervous, and reproductive systems all utilize manganese.

There are lots of food sources of manganese.  It is prevalent in nuts and seeds (almonds, peanuts, pecans, walnuts), legumes (garbanzo beans, green peas, lima beans, navy beans, pinto beans), grains (brown rice, wheat germ, oats, rye), vegetables (beets, broccoli, carrots, spinach, sweet potatoes), cloves, liver, nutrtional yeast, pineapple, and raspberries.

Iron

We're all familiar with how important iron is for the health of our blood.  Iron aids in hemoglobin production, which is critical in the transportation of oxygen around the body.  Oxygen fuels the body and hemoglobin helps get it around!  Iron also supports enzyme formation and function - enzymes too make things happen in the body.  The iron containing enzymes are required for energy production and to carry oxygen throughout the body.  Iron is also part of the enzyme system that produces DNA - the blueprint of the body - so it is critical in growth, reproduction, healing, and immune function.

Food source of iron include artichokes, beets, broccoli, legumes (garbanzo beans, green beans, kidney beans, lentils, navy beans, and pinto beans), mushrooms, organ meats, parsley, pumpkin seeds, seafood (clams, shrimp), sesame seeds, and wheat germ.

Iron is tricky as too little can cause anemia—but too much can lead to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems. Unlike other minerals, excess iron is not excreted from the body. Instead, it’s stored in the tissues, accelerating iron overload indefinitely.  To read even more about iron:

Selenium

I'm going to focus the next few posts on more of the key minerals we need to consume.  Minerals are important because essentially they make things happen in the body along with enzymes.  Without minerals, things don't happen!  It is that easy.

Selenium acts as an antioxidant with Vitamin E and aids in DNA and protein synthesis. It is these antioxidants that neutralize free radicals and prevent them from damaging tissues and cells.  It supports a healthy immune system response (keeps you healthy), prostaglandin production (these are hormone precursors), and healthy reproductive, pancreatic, and thyroid functions.  If you remember some of my previous comments about synthetic versus natural vitamins, you'll find that real Vitamin E complex contains selenium.  Guess what doesn't?  Yes, synthetic Vitamin E.  Perhaps that is why when "they" do the studies that conclude Vitamin E does not support heart health, if we look closer we learn they are using synthetic and not real Vitamin E.  Seems to make a difference.

Selenium is also important in the blood, cardiovascular, endocrine, enzymatic, immune, integumentary, nervous, and renal systems.  Essentially it is used throughout the body.

Where to get it?  One of the best sources is Brazil nuts.  I have 4-5 every morning in my protein shake.  Other sources include barley, broccoli, brown rice, lamb, lean meats, milk, mushrooms, nutritional yeast, organ meats, seafood (cod, crab, halibut, salmon, shrimp, snapper, tuna), tomatoes, turnips, walnuts, wheat germ, and whole grains.

Folic Acid

Today's nutrient is Folic Acid, also known as Folate.  But, once again (as we've seen with other vitamins), while portrayed to the public as identical, they are not.  Humans are not able to make their own folate, so it is something we need to eat.  Natural sources of folate include leafy greens (collard greens, spinach), citrus fruits, legumes (black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, lentils, navy beans, pinto beans), liver, eggs, diary products, asparagus, and nutritional yeast.

Folate is critical to the metabolism of nucleic acids and amino acids.  Because of this, it supports overall growth and development and blood cell formation and supports normal growth of the fetus.  Folic acid was added to many foods to reduce the incidence of neural tube defects, in fact there was a mandate to add folic acid to all cereal grain to products in the US.

So, what was discovered?  Well, you guessed it.  From the good intentions of the food police we now have several studies suggesting that over consumption of folic acid to colon, lung, and prostate cancers.  If you are taking folic acid as a supplement you may want to revisit that and look for companies that use natural folate in their products.

Treatment for Yeast infection

YEAST INFECTION
The doctor has diagnosed you with a yeast infection. But, you really do not know what it is. He prescribes medicine to clear it up and treat it. Did you know there is natural cures and prevention for this? Read more information below to find out what the causes are and how to naturally treat this.

The causes of vaginal yeast infections can be from Diabetes, steroids, antibiotics, pregnancy, and the use of oral contraceptives. After menopause, you can still get yeast infections to the fact that estrogen levels have dropped off which in turn thins the vaginal walls. It is a fungus called Candida Albicans that lives in the vagina.
Some common symptoms that show signs of having a yeast infection can be burning when you urinate, painful intercourse, burning and itching around the vaginal area, and a white vaginal discharge that could look like cottage cheese along with an odor.

There are a lot of different ways to treat this with yeast creams or lotions, treatment for fungal infections, medications for yeast infections, or even treatment for a urinary tract infection.
But instead, one natural way to treat this is to eat yogurt. Most women already eat yogurt. It is healthy for you and has the probotics needed for staying healthy. Here are two ways of using yogurt to prevent and cure yeast infections.

The first one is Goldenseal and yogurt. You can buy Goldenseal at your health food store and it is in capsules. It is a proven natural antibiotic. Take one to two capsules and mix with warm water and use as a douche.
When you are done cleansing with this mix, then you will douche with yogurt. Yogurt will replace the good bacterium that was lost due to cleansing. Do not use flavored yogurt only plain yogurt.

The next way of using yogurt is interesting. Take a spoon of yogurt that is plain and insert into your vagina before bedtime. This is after you have had your shower and are cleaned up. Wear a pad to bed because it will get messy. If your infection is extremely bad with itching or burning, then you want to be soothed. Take a tampon that is soaked in yogurt and freeze it. Then place inside of your vagina and let it thaw while it relieves the symptoms. You can take Acidophilus pills while do this. This is another herbal pill that can be bought at the health food store.
